After about a month I gave up and finally found a dermatologist that recognized the condition as eczema (extensive " rough " areas and some open sores). After topical steroid treatment, I was finally able to control it with lotion/cream (usually). I still have a mild topical steroid I can apply on " hot " spots. My itching is typically worse in the winter and better in the summer (seems to go with humidity). I try to get some sun early in the spring to head it off. I have not had to go back to the dermatologist since the first episode. Note that I do not have the type of itching many of you describe as " under the skin " - I don't know if it's just not as advanced or if it really is eczema. At any rate, I am able to control it with lotion and occasionally, a mild topical steroid. I do not (yet) have the fatigue many describe (except when I know I've overdone it). Hope this helps some.

What you are experiencing sounds very common in our group. Peg, wife of Phil(57), UC 30 yrs, dx PSC 12/98, listed 2/2000-status 3, live in So. Calif. Re: Mette & Denver Denver, I hope that Mette's PTC goes well. That they can find and relieve the blockage. My suspicion is that the ducts are inflammed from the surgery and swollen shut. (Easy to make a guess. Hard to do something useful). Tim __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
